Ummm I'm pretty sure I've never downplayed the amazing game-plan and play of the 07 and 10 Giants, which included the absolute clutch-iest plays of Eli Manning. Much like the Seahawks last year the 07 Giants held a record breaking offense to under 20 points, while Manning and his WRs made amazing plays.

I've also said that those losses will haunt me until the day I die, I have nothing but respect for those teams, and Coughlin, during those runs. Yet again, as I said pages ago, you NY fans will have a hair across their ass for the Pats forever, and I cannot understand it for the life of me.

Some schools don't even make enough from their programs to pay their players a moderate wage, something akin to having a full-time job making $15 /hr. Few schools can negotiate $20M TV contracts, or fill an 80,000 seat stadium every game day. Whether you give a shit or not is irrelevant, I'm just explaining why it wouldn't work.

Good thing the proleagues have already dealt with this problem as well – revenue sharing.

Nope, but as more info comes out it's looking really bad for the Colts. Their GM told the refs at halftime and handed over the intercepted ball, which had been in their custody for nearly 15 minutes at that point. That is also the only ball that registered 2psi low, all the others are easily explained by temperature and moisture conditions and were just barely under the 12.5 minimum.

I eagerly look forward to seeing all the rats at ESPN scurry away from this story as fast as they called Tom Brady's legacy into question.

It's on the same level as doctoring the ball in baseball. Every year plenty of pitchers do it, some get caught and in the end nobody really cares that much. Modern gloves like those used by Odell Beckam Jr. might as well be just as sticky as Jerry's stickum trick back in the day. He's a hypocrite for calling out the Patriots, but he's still the greatest WR of all time.

"Cheating" and "gamesmanship" are more or less interchangeable words in sports. After the SB two other teams were found guilty of "cheating", actually found guilty mind you not wildly accused of.

The Browns and general manager Ray Farmer are facing possible sanctions from the NFL for “Textgate,” including a multigame suspension for Farmer, and a fine and loss of draft pick for the Browns, league sources told Northeast Ohio Media Group. … NEOMG reported on Jan. 6 that a Browns “high-ranking personnel member texted from the press box to the sidelines about playcalls” during a game

Falcons owner Arthur Blank admitted Tuesday the team pumped artificial crowd noise into the Georgia Dome during home games the last two years...

I get a chuckle out of both these, because by the strict rules in place these can also qualify as "cheating" Colts got nabbed for crowd noise in the past as well.

Imagine a rumor getting out about "secret text messages" to Belichick from some shadowy figure in the press box, the media would lose their goddamn minds. The Browns though? Eh, moving on.

As for the Falcons, when your defense gives up more total yards than all 31 other teams you might need some help in the crowd noise department.

Oh, missed this, the conferences already do that but there still isn't enough jam to cover the toast, as it were, to pay all student athletes a salary along with the other expenses of maintaining the athletic dept (ladies' volleyball, softball, tennis, golf, water polo, etc. etc.).
